On the 187th day of the apocalypse, half a moldy orange can make people who have been separated from each other hold up sticks to each other, and a can of expired soybeans can be fought over by a swarm of rats and bats at the risk of their lives.
Lin Tian's fire ax split the skull of a mutated rat, and he hesitated to chop at his "teammate" who had been sheltering from the rain; Xiaoya went from shaking while clutching an empty can to being able to swing a steel pipe at the approaching danger - they had seen the father pushing someone downstairs to grab medicine for his son, and they had also accepted half a can of beef from the other party.
There are no heroes here, only people who are so hungry that they pick out the rust on their ax handles. They find a bite to eat and a piece of cold medicine in the ruins, and under the rule of "grab or die", they forcibly develop the tenacity to survive.
After all, no matter how thick the ashes are, as long as you can still find half an orange that is not rotten, you have to keep going - living is the most vicious counterattack in the apocalypse.
